I was not able to catch any trading opportunities this week, but the worst of the backlog at work should be cleared out in a couple of weeks and I'll be able to trade more regularly again.The market got a bit cho...

Just got done with work and have been too busy or too tired to the last few days. I have to get up early tomorrow, but thought I'd look in on the EUR/USD as see what might be underway before I turn in. The long...

Seriously swamped with work this week and was only able to take one trade. Missed a few good signals, but that couldn't be avoided. Up +18 pips for the week. Did all the right things; got paid, just not much. ...

EUR/USD didn't trend much today on the 30-minute chart. Got called in to do a BPI whole-house inspection unexpectedly, and did not have time to trade. Missed the sell signal at 13:30 EDT as a result. Oh well, on...

Managed to eek out a small gain this time. Notice the period from about 14:30 to 17:00 when the KAMA9 crossed below the KAMA18, but the slope was still positive. Therefore, since this was still a valid buy sign...

By the time I got to another Internet connection I had been stopped out with a 26-point loss. Oh well, I never said it would be a shutout. After that I had to go to work, so I missed the bullish divergence trade ...

Of course, no sooner did I publish the last post than did I get stopped in at 1.32686. The larger of the two ATRs is the ATR6 at 10.1. Since this is less than 1% of my current equity, the initial stop loss is at ...

OK,Stochastics are officially oversold, in a sideways market. I am moving the entry down to 1.32685. Since I am doing this on an encrypted link at the local Panera bread(No I'm not using their network.), and t...

Mechanical does not mean mindless. This is a good example of why one needs to be careful when coding expert advisors/trading robots. Observe the chart below. In the previous post I said I would trail the entr...

Stochastics is no longer overbought. All other indications are for a buy. Trend is still weak, but a reversal indirection now would turn the start the trend reaccelerating, so I am placing an entry stop ord...
